Why the hell cant I post a Bitmap? No its not too big, its only 137 KB's. It says I cannot upload this type of file. EVERY damn pic I save onto my hard drive is a Bitmap by default. How can I make the default a jpeg? And why cant I load a bitmap? It says I can. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Most all photo editors have the ability to change the file type
from bit map to jpg ...and bout 20 more types.

I use irfanview.....which is a free download for us CSOBs.
*That* I can help you with. It is also simple to use......which is gud for dumbshits like me. I have a couple other photo editors on this puter, but irfanview gets most all the work.

Photoshop or several other graphics programs. Convert to jpeg. Conform, stop bitching.

bmp is not allowed because some web browsers won't decode them inline, only download them. Get a batch converter which will do them all in one fell swoop. I know a great program for Mac, but IIRC your part of the Dark Side. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spank.gif)

Photoshop is es-pen-sive for average joe. There are plenty of free software packages that will do the batch conversion.

I get the feeling you wear a patch over one eye when you work on the computer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

The full version is rather pricey. You can get the limited edition for about $100. It does about 90% of what anyone would ever use. And, a lot more than any freebee. Better yet, a lot of $100 printers come with it, might as well get it free with a nice printer. Epson rocks.

Don't know if Elements is comparable. For a very long time Photoshop LE was avilable. Don't know if it still is.

You sure don't want to send BMP images. They are huge because they have absolutely no compression. I'm not sure what program or source you use for the images, but there should be other options than BMP to save them in. Most cameras use JPG as default. Irfanview rocks. One great feature is that it can detect the correct format for an image for those that have no extension or the incorrect one. It then offers to correct that for you. I think it has the widest range of permissable extensions of any program I know. I use it for some professional work along with Photoshop and other pro software.

Chris,
if you're saving pics from the web and they default to bmp instead of the jpg that they probably are then you're cache is probably filled. Someone went through this here a while back. I was having the same problem, and just emptied out my temporary internet files and voila, back to saving the original file in it's correct format.

you can use good old ms paint to convert from .bmp to .jpg. And at the same time you can add hilarious marks to your pictures.

Hey folks
I've been trying to post jpegs, and I keep getting the "Can't load-or-something-something this type of file and your computer is on fire"
Yes, I'm an idiot, but I've been saving them as jpeg. Are they just too big maybe?

Pictures? Pictures? We don't need no stinkin' pictures!

In a pinch I use the editor in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) XP, otherwise it's Photoshop.

bmp's suck 'cause they're usually huge.

For all of the rest of you that can't post pics, check out the 914club FAQ area

And specifically the Adding Pictures to Your Post page.

If you still have problems after that, let us know eh?
